GENERAL TERMS OF USE

 Welcome to Tsū, “Social That Pays!™”

These Terms of Use govern your use of the Tsū Social platform and provide information about our service. WHEN YOU CREATE A TSŪ SOCIAL ACCOUNT OR USE THE TSŪ SOCIAL PLATFORM YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH OUR TERMS OF USE, PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR PLATFORM OR SERVICE.  These Terms of Use will commence when entered into and continue until terminated as provided in these Terms.

 

By participating on the Tsū Social platform you are becoming a member of a community that depends on the goodwill and responsible behavior of each of our users.  You are required to refrain from transmission or communication of images or text constituting ethnic slurs, obscenities, nudity, sexually explicit material, inflammatory or derogatory comments, or anything else that may be construed as harassing, offensive or unlawful (a more detailed list of prohibited content is below in these Terms of Use.) Members who violate this trust, as determined by us in our sole discretion, may have their access to the Tsū Social platform suspended or terminated without prior notice as more specifically discussed in these Terms of Use.

 

The Tsū Social Platform

 

We agree to provide you with the Tsū Social platform service. The service includes all of the Tsū Social platform products, features, applications, services, technologies, and software that we provide to advance the Tsū Social platform 's purpose of connecting people and creating communities of shared interests.  The Tsū Social platform consists of many aspects including the following:

 

• Offering opportunities to create and share content, connect and conduct eCommerce.
  We want to connect people with their friends, followers and interests, and reward you for your content creation, ecommerce and other activity on the Tsū Social platform. So, we try to understand who and what you and others care about and use the Tsū Social platform to help you create, find, join and share your experiences and interests.

 

• Fostering a positive, inclusive, and safe environment.
  Our goal is to make tools and offer resources available to members of the Tsū Social platform community to enhance your connectivity and experiences in a safe and positive manner, including when we think you might need help. We have people and processes in place, and use all of the information available to us, to help secure our platform and prevent violations of our Terms of Use and policies, as well as harmful and deceptive behavior. Technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning give us the ability to employ complex processes across the Tsū Social platform.  We also may share information about misuse or harmful content with law enforcement.  Please see our Privacy Policy.

 

• Ensuring a stable global infrastructure for the Tsū Social platform.

To provide the Tsū Social platform, we may as necessary store and transfer data across our systems around the world, including outside of your country of residence. Tsū completes such data transfers in compliance with applicable law. See our Privacy Policy regarding data transfers in compliance with GDPR.

 

• Connecting you with brands, products, and services meaningful to you.
  We use data and content created on the Tsū Social platform , as well as from third-party partners, to show you ads, offers and other sponsored content that we hope will be meaningful to you. We try to make that content as relevant to you as possible. The terms of use of such third-party websites or services will govern your use of those sites, including your use of any shared links or other posting of our content on those web sites. Tsū disclaims any and all interactions between a third-party service, whether integrated into the Tsū Social platform or otherwise, and any use, and any collection of your content by that third-party service through the Tsū Social platform will be governed by their policies and their privacy practices, see our Privacy Policy including the Links and Third Party Sites section.

 

Our Privacy Policy

 

Providing the Tsū Social platform requires collecting and using your information. The Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information. It also provides you with information as to ways you can control your information, including the use of privacy settings.

 

We award you for your content and activity

 

We do not charge users of the Tsū Social platform for the opportunity to participate in the Tsū Social platform and community.  However, we do receive compensation from advertisements, retailers, brands, merchants and other partners participating in connection with content.  We may also receive compensation from eCommerce transactions initiated and completed through the Tsū Social platform. 

 

One of the key differentiators and benefits of becoming part of the Tsū Social platform community is that we provide you the opportunity to earn awards for your content and activities on the Tsū Social platform based on advertisements and eCommerce transactions directly related to the content created by registered users on the Tsū Social platform.  The Creator Awards Program explains how this works.

 

What We Expect From You

 

In return for providing the Tsū Social platform, we require certain things from you.

As part of your agreement with us, you agree to give us permissions that we need to provide our service.

 

• We do not claim ownership of your content, but you grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use it.

You represent and warrant that you own or have secured all rights necessary to display, distribute and deliver all of your content and to grant this license. You have full responsibility for any content you post, and we take no responsibility and assume no responsibility or liability for any of your content.

We do not accept responsibility for losses (i) not caused by our material breach of these Terms , (ii) from any offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful, or otherwise objectionable content posted by others that you may encounter on the Tsū Social platform or (iii) from events beyond our reasonable control.

How We Will Handle Disputes; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver; Limits on Liability

 

• We would like an opportunity to address your concerns without a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against us, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by first contacting [Customer Care]. We will try to resolve the dispute informally by responding to you in writing via email.

 

• If you are a consumer and habitually reside in a Member State of the European Union, the laws of that Member State will apply to any claim, cause of action, or dispute you have against us that arises out of or relates to these Terms of Use or any of our other policies ("claim"), and you may resolve your claim in any competent court in that Member State that has jurisdiction over the claim. In all other cases the following shall apply, except to the extent that you are a consumer and the law of the country in which you reside does not permit the following to apply:

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

• You and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use, the Tsū Social Platform or this Privacy Policy(a “Dispute”) shall be determined by binding arbitration or in small claims court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. You may choose to be represented by a lawyer in arbitration or proceed without one. You acknowledge that, by agreeing to this Agreement, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. You also agree that any Dispute in connection with these Terms of Use, the Tsū Social Platform or our Privacy Policy will be governed by the laws of the State of New York and the United States of America. This provision shall survive termination of this agreement.

 

• If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to us, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice to us must be addressed to: Legal Counsel, tsu Inc., P.O. Box 1061, Norwalk, CT 06854. If we initiate arbitration, we will send a written notice to an email address you have previously provided to us, if available. A notice, whether sent by you or by us, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If you and we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. Arbitration forms can be downloaded from jamsadr.com. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after we receive notice that you have commenced arbitration, we will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000 or the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, in which event you will be responsible for filing fees.

 

• The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “JAMS Rules”), except to the extent that the JAMS Rules are inconsistent with this Agreement or the class action waiver described below. The arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules or the mutual agreement of the parties and shall follow New York law in adjudicating the Dispute. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity, subject to the limitations set forth herein. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the Dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

• The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a location determined by JAMS and not more than 100 miles from your home. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Rules. In the event that the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of submitted documents, the arbitrator’s decision and award will be made and delivered within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator, unless extended by the arbitrator. Except as expressly set forth herein, the award of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules.

 

• YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

 

• Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and we both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights, or efforts to interfere with our service or engage with our service in unauthorized ways (for example automated ways. In the event a court or arbitrator having jurisdiction finds any portion of this Agreement unenforceable, that portion shall not be effective, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain effective. No waiver, express or implied, by either party of any breach of or default under this Agreement will constitute a continuing waiver of such breach or default or be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.

 

• The Tsū Social platform and services are provided "as is," and we make no guarantees that they always will be safe, secure, or error-free, or that they will function without disruptions, delays, or imperfections. To the extent permitted by law, (i) we also DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT and (ii) in no event shall we be liable for any special, incidental, consequential, statutory, exemplary, punitive or other indirect damages whether based on breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort (including negligence, product liability or otherwise), or for any lost profits (whether direct or indirect), lost data or loss of use damages, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

 

• We do not control or direct what people and others do or say, and we are not responsible for their actions or conduct (whether online or offline) or any content they share (including offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful, and other objectionable content).

 

• To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that your sole remedy is to delete your account on the Tsū Social platform. In no event will the maximum aggregate liability arising out of your use of the Tsū Social platform exceed the greater of U.S. Fifty Dollars ($50) or the maximum Tsū Dollar award amount you received in the six (6) months from the date of acceptance of these Terms of Use and our other policies. This limitation shall apply to any and all liabilities or causes of action however alleged or arising, including negligence, breach of contract, breach of warranty, or any other claim whether in tort, contract, or equity.

 

• WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: YOU AGREE TO WAIVE (GIVE UP) YOUR THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

 

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. This means that you cannot seek to assert class or representative claims against us either in court or in arbitration and no relief can be awarded on a class or representative basis.

CREATOR PARTICIPATION AWARD PROGRAM

 

 

The Tsū Social platform receives compensation from Advertising and eCommerce on the Tsū Social platform

 

 

We do not charge users of the Tsū Social platform for the opportunity to participate in the Tsū Social platform and community.  However, we do receive compensation from advertisements, retailers, brands, merchants and other partners participating in connection with the content they create and share with others on the Tsū Social platform.  We may also receive affiliate marketing commissions or other compensation from eCommerce transactions initiated and completed through the Tsū Social platform.

 

Tsū, “The Social That Pays”

 

One of the key differentiators and benefits of becoming part of the Tsū Social platform community is that we provide you the opportunity to be rewarded for your content and eCommerce transactions on the Tsū Social platform.

 

• As a registered user of the Tsū Social platform, you have the opportunity to receive Tsū Dollar awards to the extent that we receive monies from advertisements viewed by other the Tsū Social platform users directly related to content that you create and post on your profile page.

 

• As a registered user of the Tsū Social platform, you also have the opportunity to receive Tsū Dollar awards to the extent that we receive affiliate marketing commissions from retailers, brands, merchants or other participating partners from completed eCommerce retail sales transactions that are directly identifiable to content you create and post on your profile page (net of returns).

 

• Participation in this opportunity to earn benefits are offered at our sole discretion and subject to your compliance with our Terms of Use, this Creator Awards Program, our other policies and all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

Tsū Dollar Award Rates

 

• Unless agreed with us in writing, or as part of the Tsū Social platform pre-registration promotion or as part of another Tsū Social platform promotion, a user’s initial Tsū Dollar award rate will be 30% based on of advertising and eCommerce directly related to content that you create and post on your profile page. We may have promotions from time to time which offer different rates.  Tsū Dollar award rates are subject to change at our discretion. 

 

• You will have the opportunity to increase your Tsū Dollar award rate up to a maximum of 50% based on a number of factors including promotions, the level of your daily usage of the Tsū Social platform, the amount, quality and type of content you create for our community, the number of friends or followers you bring to the Tsū Social platform’s registered users and the level of eCommerce transactions completed.

 

• Tsū Dollar award rates for advertisement are calculated based on the number of users that view a particular advertisement specifically related to content that you create and post on your profile page and the ad rate for any particular advertisement. Advertising rates will vary based on among other items, the brand, product type, merchant, logistics provider or other participating partner, the amount of data you share, the geography in which an advertisement is viewed and the conversion rate from the advertisement.  In addition, not all advertisements pay in all geographies and not all users who view an ad are viewed as a qualified viewer for that advertisement.

 

• All Tsū Dollar award rates are determined net of Tsū Social platform costs and expenses. In addition, we also have the right to deduct reasonable fees, charges and other applicable deductions and costs.  The amount of costs, expenses, fees, charges and other applicable deductions and costs may vary depending on the manner in which you elect to receive your Tsū Dollar awards, the country, state or territory you live, applicable tax requirements, whether you are the primary creator or receiving Tsū Dollar awards based on creators you refer to the Tsū Social platform and other factors such as copyright or other costs related to your content.  The advertising and eCommerce affiliate commission amounts paid to us related to content you create, or your eCommerce transactions may not be immediately determinable by us.  Accordingly, we may also take holdbacks against your Tsū Dollar awards until such time as we determine the amount of monies we receive from advertisers and affiliate commissions.

 

• The amount of any Tsū Dollar award will be determined by us in our reasonable discretion, and in some cases may be based on estimates or assumptions which we determine to be fair and reasonable given each individual circumstance. In this regard, due to the payment terms from advertisers and affiliate commissions, a portion of your Tsū Dollar awards may be held until the final settlement and determination of amounts received by us.  We will review this periodically and adjust your Tsū Dollar awards accordingly.

 

• If you disable “cookies” (as defined in our Terms of Use) on your device, you may not be able to earn Tsū Dollar awards because cookies are used to authenticate the user and verify which Tsū Social platform user is eligible for to receive Tsū Dollar awards and the amount of Tsū Dollar award. You can see more information about cookies and how we use then in our Privacy Policy.

 

• If other sites are visited before completing a sale transaction for a product, goods or service you offer or recommend, the transaction might be associated with a service other than the Tsū Social platform and you might not earn Tsū Dollar awards from a sales transaction.

 

• We reserve the right to change the method of calculating award rates from time to time at our sole discretion.

 

• We can refuse to allow you to earn Tsū Dollar awards without notice if you seriously or repeatedly violate our Terms of Use, our policies, infringe other people's intellectual property rights, violate laws, create risk or possible legal exposure for us, or where we are otherwise required to do so by law.

 

• If you believe that your award amount is incorrect you may contact [Customer Care] and ask us to review your award amount. We will review your award amount in good faith and make any adjustment we determine to be appropriate.  All decisions are final.

 

Bonuses and Other Rewards

 

We periodically offer promotions, bonuses or other rewards for registering with the Tsū Social platform and/or for referring new users to the Tsū Social platform.  If you elect to participate in any promotion, your participation is subject to the program promotional terms. The terms and conditions accompanying such offers will govern how they are earned and paid if the terms and conditions differ from this Creator Awards Program. All bonuses and rewards are subject to review. We have no obligation to continue any promotions and may change the terms or terminate this promotion at any time in our discretion.

 

Tsū Dollar Award Redemption Terms

 

• Tsū Dollar awards are redeemable on a basis of US$1.00 for each Tsū Dollar award. The minimum Tsū Dollar award redemption amount is [50]. Balances below [50] Tsū Dollar awards will remain in your account until your account reaches the [50] Tsū Dollars award amount and you request payment of awards. All Tsū Dollar awards be paid in U.S. dollars via PayPal or other manner as we may make available from time to time. Gift cards, charitable donations and transfers between registered users of the Tsū Social Platform may also be available as discussed later in this Creator Awards Program. Users may select or change their Tsū Dollar award options in their account settings.  Redemption of Tsū Dollar awards may not be requested more than two times in any thirty (30) day period.  You should expect that processing of redemptions of Tsū Dollar awards may take time depending on when we receive payment from advertisers and eCommerce affiliate partners, the method of payment you elect, your location and other factors.

 

• We are not responsible for errors made by any company or organization we may use for processing Tsū Dollar awards, nor for lost or stolen Tsū Dollar awards redemptions. We are not responsible for Tsū Dollar award redemptions delivered to the wrong address through no fault of ours or for made by Tsū Dollar award redemption partners, like PayPal, or other similar company we may use for award processing.  If you request a redemption of your Tsū Dollar awards by check and the check expires without being cashed or deposited, or if it is returned uncashed to us, the Tsū Dollar award amount will be returned to your profile account, where it may be subject to inactive account maintenance charges described in the Account Activity section of this Creator Awards Program, unless you take the proper steps to restore your profile account to active status.   

 

• You will forfeit any unredeemed Tsū Dollar awards if: (i) you terminate your account on the Tsū Social platform; (ii) your account is determined to be inactive as defined below in the section entitled “Account Activity,” or (iii) you do not reach the minimum redemption amount of [50] Tsū Dollar awards in any [18-month period] starting on the date you registered on the Tsū Social Platform.
